Ever hear of Craftsy.com? It is a an online craft community similar to Ravelry where you can share your craft projects whether it be sewing, quilting, knitting, you name it. Craftsy also offers classes as well as options to buy craft supplies such as yarns and patterns.

As a knitter/felter, I also like to delve into a little embroidery, beading, crochet, baking and other crafty-like projects as the mood sways me. Craftsy gives you an outlet to share all your creative endeavors. I also have taken their online classes and hope to purchase another class on crochet embellishing. So much fun and convenient too!

I have recently added my line of patterns (pdf-format) onto their sight, so now they can be downloaded from there too. Come check out my pattern store: woollysomething

Summer months are usually slow for me business-wise what with everyone occupied with gardening and getting their kids finished with school for the year. Traditionally the yarn stores slow down as well. This Spring I have a son graduating from high school, thus I have been occupied with 'other' things other than creating much. But it hasn't stopped me from dreaming about future projects!

This fall I will be offering a Woolly Snowman Kit complete with pattern, beads, yarn and more! The kit will be part of the celebration of 10 years of snowman making. Where has the time flown? I seem to be asking this question a lot lately what with my son graduating.

I love the snowman pattern for its whimsey. It is one of my earliest patterns and has grown through the years with the addition of hats and accessories. I never tire of it, but I do have to follow my own instructions each and every time.

I am now buying the yarns needed for each kit, so stay tuned for further details.
